Pros:

Lovely, friendly staff! It's a cheap and cheerful hotel, a short walk from the bus station and town. Clean room, with towels, toiletries and toothbrushes supplied. There was even a kettle with water, tea and coffee supplied.

Cons:

I don't like rooms without windows, but for the price paid, I think this is a good value hotel.

Not worth the amount stated in online websites
Pros:

The availability of room with attached bathroom is the main advantage.

Cons:

Plumbing was not working. Couldn't take shower due to defective plumbing. Bidet tap was not working. TV remotes were faulty too. Always double check their rooms before entering to stay.

Pros:

The beddings were relatively clean.

Cons:

Surprisingly, there is no window in the room, which was the crucial safety exit should there be any fire. TV was not working despite the help of the staff. There's no hook in the bathroom for hanging clothes, and the toilet bowl was left super wet after each bath as there was no shower curtain to shield as divider. Though it was indicated it's a central location to CIQ, it was almost impossible to walk through due to the road blocks and constructions of the upcoming RTS. Overall, was disappointed with the stay.
